Social Suicide

Synopsis

Social Suicide is a dramatic teen thriller loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet examining the extreme lengths teenagers will go to get noticed on the internet today. The film combines a police investigation with masses of online footage: vlogs, vines, memes, snapchats and mobile uploads. However nothing is as it seems because what's posted rarely reflects reality.
